Nitpicker? It is 24 or 26. Close enough to 30.

The Gym only needs to write its own letter, with company registration number and a registration under the Sports Authority of Thailand.

You yourself have to ask your employer, or if you are self employed write the letter yourself.

Why would it? They are friends from the same country. Decided to travel together, booked the same flight. What is suspicious about that?

I think the same. Especially as a DTV is just a glorified entry stamp, while a "real visa" (yes yes, the nitpickers, a DTV is a real visa, too) is nearly a one passport page big stamp.

Well, Muay Thai is difficult mate! It has 3 kinds of punches, 2 kinds of elbow strikes and 2 kinds of kicks and 2 kinds of knee strikes. That is why people need so long to learn it 😛 😛 😛

Anonymous participant 577 There are no new banking rules. It was always open to the bank to make their own rules. Most simply do not want to have a foreigner as a customer.

It is officially classed as a DTV.

It is its own visa class.

The tourist visa are "Single Entry Tourist Visa" and "Multiple Entry Tourist Visa" - the only two tourist visa Thailand has.

A DTV is its own visa category.

Anonymous participant 889 You can open an account on any visa, or no visa.

It is not a tourist visa, it is a DTV.

And there is no legal reason for not opening an bank account on a Tourist Visa, a DTV or visa exempt.

Some branches just do not want to do it. That is all.
